I go to quite a few DCs around the Chicago and Detroit area. I have seen lots of odd things like a cage full of original Digital AlphaServers from 94, etc. Lately, I see a big trend mostly in mixed colocations where tons of Merkai and Ubiquiti gear is being installed by young network admins.
Today I walked by three full racks of super expensive PureStroage NVMe SAN arrays connected to Merkai 10gig agg switches. We're talking 10+ million dollars in a storage connected to questionable networking gear for iSCSI.
Enterprises are investing in super expensive compute, storage and then some genius connects it to questionable networking gear. Wondering if anyone seeing the same.
